Today's Weather Trivia:
2007: Following a spring storm that dumped up to 50 mm of ice on homes and
power lines on Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula, 1,300 people were left
without power for more than 3 days. High winds and the freezing rain downed
poles and wires and pulled electrical meters off homes.
